ABSTRACT:
An improved vestlike weapon carrier providing concealed and comfortable carrying of a handgun by a plain clothes law enforcement officer. The handgun is supported under one arm and an ammunition pouch under the other. The handgun is held in a holster having a thumb release retainer strap and a body which is formed to match the contour of the frame and barrel of the handgun. The handgun is supported with the barrel muzzle slightly elevated for natural action cross-drawing by the officer. The holster is supported by a crescent shaped shoulder strap and a pair of "D" rings secured to the holster at the muzzle region and the chamber region of the handgun for balanced carriage. A similar crescent shaped shoulder strap supports a generally "Y" shaped ammunition or clip carrier. The shoulder straps are joined by elastic straps extending across the back of the wearer. No straps extend across the chest of the wearer. The elastic straps and the intermediate sections of the crescent shaped shoulder straps define a flexible quadrilateral biased against the wearer's back and distortable upon movement of the wearer to maintain the holster and handgun in a stable position.
